Mixed Verdicts in Outlaws Biker Gang Trial in Virginia

Source: Fox

RICHMOND, Va. -- After a weeklong trial and nearly four days of deliberations, a federal jury convicted only one of four Outlaws motorcycle gang members on trial for racketeering and failed to reach a verdict on the organization's president.

Two members were acquitted Wednesday after a more than two-year undercover operation that resulted in charges against 27 members of the biker gang.

The jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict on Outlaws national president Jack Rosga of Milwaukee, who was charged with conspiracy to commit racketeering and conspiracy to commit violence in the aid of racketeering. Rosga showed no emotion as the deadlock was announced.

Peter Duffey, the lead federal prosecutor in the case, said Rosga will be retried. U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson said a trial date will be set next week.
